A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm so fucking tired of advertisements. I'm sick and tired of it.

That's basically why I am here. I can't go back to Reddit's official app and its ads after using Boost and Joey for years.

Agreed.. Augmented reality is going to be a nightmare hahah

There are ways around adds; alternative apps, addblockers, roms and privacy focused browsers. The only mandatory adds are on street corners imo

If adblockers didn't work, I'd be living alone in the woods somewhere.

This, I feel monetized. I dont like that feeling and it's the one of the reasons i've stopped using reddit

Me too, I've basically left all traditional social media because of it.
